O' My!

Ford has fired new warning shots in the ever escalating muscle-car power wars by confirming that the Mustang’s upcoming Shelby GT500 variant will be the most powerful Ford production car ever, boasting upward of 700 horsepower.

saw a ford post today claiming "760hp/625ft/lb making it the most powerful street legal ford ever with the most power and torque dense supercharged production V8 in the world".

Going to be one heck of a car "if" you can get your hands on one without major markup. My neighbor got the GT350R when they first came out and WOW! such a fun car and sounds amazing with that flat plane V8.

YES, A Lot of POWER Here! But how will it transfer the power to the rear wheels?

I guess you have to run some really gummy tires.

My Car spins the tires way to easily with only 600hp/516lb.sf!

Your car while incredible is not a race car.

This is designed to be track ready.

Seth and Larry, just go ahead and put your name on the list.

The dealer mark ups are going to me ridiculous.

I’ll not be paying an extra 30k for a circa 80k$ car.

Besides, dual clutch auto. No manual. I’ve got that base covered already. I love this thing, but I’m not interested in actually buying one.

swils8610 · 20 June 2019, 05:17 AM

Gotta love what Ford, GM and Dodge are doing with muscle cars...I’m a Mustang fan.

I'm not in the market for a Track Ready Car. So, I gave your name and contact information to all the Ford Dealers in Southern California! They will be contacting you soon!

save your money for the new mid-engine Corvette .........

ltmgeller · 20 June 2019, 06:21 AM

Awesome. I love mustangs. Looking to get another one in the future.

I must agree with this post.

If I’m going American muscle, this is what I’m doing.

Ironically, Chevy dealers ate offering huge discounts right now for C7’s. They can’t sell them. Give it some time and there will be a huge dealer markups on the C8

Keadog · 20 June 2019, 06:35 AM

No manual. Too bad.
Pass.

RW16610 · 20 June 2019, 08:16 AM

Wow, that's a nice one.

Likely 100K+
Can't wait to see one in the flesh anyway.

Flyinghunter · 20 June 2019, 08:32 AM

My wife's Mustang GT has been amazing considering the costs (purchased new) vs horsepower + technology. Fun to drive, very reliable and overall smiles per gallon factor is excellent.

Excellent point... the previous pinnacle of muscle cars perhaps in the late 60's and early 70's is experiencing an incredible rebirth. More horsepower, better handling, technology and design with the current crop of Corvettes, Chargers, Mustangs etc...has perhaps elevated the purchasing consumer to a new height for muscle cars.

rmlovett1 · 20 June 2019, 12:17 PM

Going to be a doozy! Love it!
Still love the GT350 most of all, for American muscle

returntorolex · 20 June 2019, 12:38 PM

Impressive!

MinMay · 20 June 2019, 12:57 PM

The current Mustang sounds mean...I do fear them when I'm driving my car, but I'll smoke it on the track. :)

In what?

Fencer · 21 June 2019, 02:31 PM

I have driven the current generation and it feels way too heavy. Powerful, yes, but heavy. So my vote is for the Corvette.

Competitors were offering 700+hp muscle four years ago, and moved on to 800+hp now.

ronricks · 23 June 2019, 06:39 AM

Isn’t the Mustang like 400 pounds lighter than Camaro’s and Challenger’s? I know Chevy was going to try and reduce weight on the Camaro not sure if they ever did.

cajunron · 24 June 2019, 01:13 AM

Should be sold to QUALIFIED drivers only!

That is a LOT of horsepower. I love it!

M45 · 24 June 2019, 01:28 AM

The streets will run red with blood at Cars and Coffee once these are released...

Interesting. I did not realize that.

I’m glad I got my manual 911 while I could. The days of stick are numbered.

992 will still continue to be offered with an MT for some of the models, just like the 991, even if the PDK is faster.
